Thanks for this. It is one of my favourite songs.

Strauss - Sängerslust Polka, op 328

and sung so well here.

Sorry for my late aproval of your friendly comment.

In the meantime I have eight channels and the

workload is outgrowing every day...:)

@wskfanclever jetzt hätte ich Dich doch glatt mit orion8352 verwechselt. Ein schönes Video nichtsdestotrotz;-)

That remembers me to my own childhood in a completely different boyschoir at that time. My father often compared us with the WSK followed by complaining of our so-called "non-musicality". But the vienna choir boys were at the climax of their musical skills during the 1970s. Btw, who is Peter Jelositz in this formation?

[wskfanclever]

@silverbud You are right, that is an always c u r r e n t and very sad talking point in Germany...:( But I believe that such things happen everywhere in the world.

It´s always not unproblematically to send children in boarding schools or homes.

The Vienna Boys´Choir also is involved but not currently in such stressful events.

Perhaps you can find information about that at the website of VBC.

Unfortunately it might be two years ago, I could not say if it was in Sueddeutsche Zeitung, Der Spiegel or other. I remember the tenor was that in some closed organizations other things than just discipline takes place. We had recent painful proof of that because of revelations what happened in famous schools in Germany; suppression, abuse, rape by teachers, priests etc.

@silverbud You "read an article" ? A current one ?

More information about the source please...:)

@maestrovoci

Some would, some would not. I read an article in which some of the former boys complained about the hard und unjust punishments of which some particularly suffered. Some said they would never send their children there.

I have never seen this one, my favorite Polka.....you made my day! Fine days of the WSK, what a great harmony! Thank you very much for sharing this fantastic video!

Na ja, gerade bei den Jungs haben die Frisuren

im Laufe der Jahrzehnte immer wieder gewechselt. Gerade in den 70er Jahren waren

"Pilzköpfe" in...:)

lustige Doku - Frisuren heute nicht mehr ganz zeitgemäß - streckenweise asynchron!
